I use and recommend Brave. People should definitely stop using Chrome imo due to the privacy concerns.

Edit: the reason I use Brave over firefox is largely because firefox drained my battery and always turned on the fans on my macbook last time I tried it. Things might be better now but I've settled in on Brave and am happy with it.

brave is still chromium based and also had a lot of controversy, like the refferal thing

It has so much you barely mentioned any of them! What a low effort attempt at shilling for Firefox.

Mozilla doesn't care about your privacy or security.

Brave makes money from advertising. Not the same as how other browsers do it, but it requires trust to use Brave too.

Referral link controversy is easy to find and relevant to the conversation:
